Residents lived modestly - they caught fish, traded, and repaired nets. But in the 20th century, aristocrats and artists began to come here in search of peace and beauty. Gradually, the small harbor turned into an elite resort. Now Portofino is a symbol of "dolce vita": colorful houses by the water, small streets with boutiques and restaurants, where a cup of coffee can cost more than lunch in a neighboring town.
